/IDLOUT (Name MIDL Output Files)

/IDLOUT:[path\]filename

where,

filename
Specifies the name of the .idl file created by the MIDL compiler. No file extension is assumed; specify filename.idl if you want a .idl extension.
path
An absolute or relative path specification. By specifying a path, you only affect the location of .idl file; all other files are placed in the project directory.

Remarks

/IDLOUT specifies the name and extension of the .idl file.

The MIDL compiler is called by the Visual C++ linker when linking projects that have the module attribute.

/IDLOUT also specifies the file names of the other output files associated with the MIDL compiler:

filename is the parameter that you pass to /IDLOUT. If /TLBOUT is specified, the .tlb file will get its name from /TLBOUT filename.

If you specify neither /IDLOUT nor /TLBOUT, the linker will create vc70.tlb, vc70.idl, vc70_p.c, vc70_i.c, and vc70.h.
